immense Treasure discovered IN India.
LONDON, May 16.-The Financial Sec
retary of India has advised the Govern
ment of the discovery of an immense
amount of treasure, estimated at over
$25, ,000. 900, which had been secreted i'm
the palace of Gwalior by the late
Maharajah. The treasure had been sunk
in pits under vaults beneath the zenana,
and the secret was entrusted to a few
confidential servants. The Secretary
was present when the treasure was un-
earthed. After removing the earth
to the depth of six feet the
workmen uncovered great fiagstones.
Beneath these stones were several pits
filled to the brim with silver, chiefly
freshly coined rupees. In each pit was
a plate recording the amount of the
treasure and the names of the officials
who had assisted in secreting it. The
Government has the hoard as loan from
the young Maharajah. The native papers
protest against this action of the Gov
ernment.

God will take care Of the rest.
It is just as easy to cultivate the &C.

anter for your enjoyment; just as it Is
a great deal pleasanter to be introduc-
